In short

I'm interested in setting up multiple TVs in a single room. Most likely two of the tvs would be the same make and model. — Staff replied: “Should be trivial.

I'm interested in setting up multiple TVs in a single room. Most likely two of the tvs would be the same make and model. Will I have an issue control those two TVs via individual IR Emitters?

In other words will I be able to control sources/volume/power independently or will changing one TV result in the other TV making the same adjustment?

Setup:

3 TVs (TLC Roku TVs, 2 identical Make/Model)

3 Apple TVs

OTA input for each TV

Audio will be from the speakers in each tv (no receiver)

Should be trivial. Use emitter covers if you experience interference. Black electrical tape will do if it's not going to be visible. Search for "infrared emitter cover" and you'll find billions of them.

Thank you.
